Halcyon Delivers Japanese Version of Management Tools

November 6, 2012 Alex Woodie

IBM i systems management tool vendor Halcyon Software last month announced that its software is now available in the Japanese language. The U.K. firm says its complete line of products are now available in Japan, the second largest IBM i market in the world, after the United States.

Halcyon says it did the development work of modifying its software to support double byte character sets (DBCS), while its Japanese partner SOLPAC, a Tokyo-based software and consulting firm that caters to the IBM midrange market, did the translation work.

SOLPAC will sell Halcyon products in Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam. “Halcyon has made a significant investment in developing a totally new DBCS-based systems management software solution to meet the needs of Japanese companies operating throughout the Asia Pacific region,” stated Halcyon managing director Lorraine Cousins in a press release.

Halcyon says its complete product lineup has been DBCS enabled. Its complete product lineup consists of: Advanced Job Scheduler, Audit Journal Manager, Authority Swapper, Disk Space Manager, Document Management System, HA-MX (MIMIX) Monitor, Message Communicator, Message Manager, Performance Analyzer, Record and Playback, Restricted Tasks Manager, Skyview Policy Minder, Skyview Risk Assessor, Snapshot TSC, and Spooled File Manager.

Halcyon and SOLPAC will be demonstrating the Japanese version of the management tools–which the vendors say are the first IBM i products to support simple network management protocol (SNMP) traps in Japan–tomorrow at the IBM Intermediate System User Conference (iSUC) 2012 in Sendai.

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”¹

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.

Reach out to UCG Technologies to discuss your company’s security needs and develop a data protection plan that fits you best.
